Offering an in-depth view of adult literacy/biliteracy by merging two fields--adult literacy and English as a Second Language--this volume brings to the forefront linguistic, demographic, sociocultural, workforce, familial, academic, and other issues surrounding the development of bilingualism and biliteracy by adults in the U.S. As such, it helps to fill a gap in the research literature on language development among adults which has traditionally placed more emphasis on the development of oral English. Most important, it brings to light issues that are integral to the success of immigrant populations in the U.S.--issues that politicians, policymakers, educators, and employers must place at the top of their agendas as immigration reform is being formulated and implemented.
